Sunflower Harvest Floral Display Workshop

 

Create a sunflower harvest floral display at this workshop in October. West Plains Council on the Arts (WPCA) will host the workshop, conducted by local artist Tara Shahan, on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Trillium Trust offices, 1376 Bill Virdon Blvd. in West Plains. Cost for the workshop is $40, all supplies included.

In this workshop you will create this beautiful, personalized Sunflower Harvest floral arrangement. The paint stick crate is painted white with black lettering. The floral arrangement includes sunflowers, cat tails, cotton picks, berry spray, greenery, and your choice of white or orange pumpkin. You will also learn how to make the sweet buffalo plaid bow as well. The crate is 14” wide, 6” tall and 4 ½ “deep.

About the instructor: Tara Shahan was raised in a small town in the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio until about the age of 12. Her upbringing included being a member in the Patchworkers 4-H club, where most of her projects consisted of food, sewing and crafts taught by her mother, a 4-H leader. Shahan won ribbons for her work at local and state fairs, including an award for Outstanding of the Day at the Ohio State Fair. Shahan now lives in West Plains.

“For the most part I have created things for my own home but now have decided to share those things that I create and cherish so much,” says Shahan. “My passion is for what they are calling these days – rustic, primitive and farmhouse. Most of my items have been upcycled from a vintage piece or made from a common household item. This is what inspires me. Of course, I love frequenting vintage re-sale shops and antique stores for my inspirations, so most items that I make are pre-loved and show wear. DIY is a way of life in the Midwest. Thou art blessed who ‘rescues’ unwanted items!”
